Wikileaks Dumps 72,000 Hacked Macron Emails

In a move that is certain to prompt more allegations that Wikileaks is part of a counter-establishment push, one ostensibly supported by Russia, on Monday morning Wikileaks dumped more than 21,000 “verified” emails associated with the French presidential campaign of Emmanuel Macron. Julian Assange’s organisation claims the batch of 21,075 emails, dating from March 2009 to April 2017, have been uniquely verified through its DKIM system.

Ironically, less than two months later, with Macron’s approval rating suddenly in freefall, the Russian hacking story re-emrged, when Reuters reported that Russia tried to use an “elaborate Facebook hacking scheme” on the French presidential campaign. It is unclear if the French population will shift their anger away from Macron and to the default scapefoat Russia, helping Macron’s sudden slide in popularity.

To be sure, the Macron hacking story is about to get its second wind when according to Wikileaks statement, there is now a full archive of 71,848 emails with 26,506 attachments from 4,493 unique senders is provided for context. Wikileaks stated that while only the 21,075 emails marked with its green “DKIM verified” banner are certified by WikiLeaks as genuine, it believes “based on statistical sampling” that the “overwhelming majority” of the remainder are also authentic.

“As the emails are often in chains and include portions of each other, it is usually possible to confirm the integrity [of]other emails in the chain as a result of the DKIM verified emails within it,” the statement reads.

Curiously, unlike in the US, the initial May hack did not have an adverse impact on Macron’s presidential chances – unlike in the US, where Hillary Clinton has repeatedly blamed “Russian interference” as the main reason for her loss – when the youngest ever French president defeated his opponent Marine Le Pen in a landslide. Should he have lost, the outcome would likely have been different.
